Buying very specific aluminium - help sourcing it please?

[ChemicalChaos]

Hi all,

To fulfil a promise to someone, I need to lay my hands on some sheet aluminium.

Catch one - it has to be imperial 20 gauge (0.032")

Catch two - it has to be BS L72 alloy (or modern equivalent as I gather this is a 1960s alloy.

Nothing else will do, as it is part of a deal I made that involved removing 24 square feet of this stuff from someone's possession.

Can anyone help please? I'm not having much luck searching online.

It might be worth reposting in the Classics or Business sections, maybe?

BS L163 seems to be the replacement for L72 - http://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id=N0...
